Fields of Gold; Daniel Ricciardo

Together with Lewis

I start out the night with a beautiful song from 'We Are The Fallen'.
Standing here and receiving the reaction from the audience feels so amazing. I never thought I would get this much love from people who hear me sing. Never in my life did I think I was good enough.
I'm so happy Charlotte and Charles took us here, because that really is the only reason I'm on this stage tonight.

After a couple of songs I take the microphone off the stand, "so this next song, I won't be doing alone. There's a special friend of mine here and I would love to ask him up here to join me."
It's funny seeing the faces of Daniel and the rest of the drivers that came tonight. They didn't know about this.
"Lewis, please come up here." I see so many surprised faces.
Everybody knows Lewis is super talented in a car, but also on the musical field, he just doesn't really do much in public.

I see him get up and he joins me on the stage. He also has a microphone and he is shaking his head walking up to me.
"I really don't know why I agreed to this."
"Because you can't say no to me. Ready for this?" I ask him with a big smile.
"No but let's do this anyways." The band starts playing and I start singing.

Lewis absolutely nails it, he might have had some doubts about doing it, but now he's up here he rocks the stage.
We've been practicing this for a couple of weeks in secret which was so much fun. But now seeing him actually do it and also how everybody here reacts is like the icing on the cake.

The song ends and I pretty much jump in his arms to celebrate. He hugs me tightly and the people in the bar cheer and make a lot of noise.
I look at Daniel and he has a massive smile, I know he's so proud and I'm also so thankful he knows he has no reason to be jealous of me and Lewis.
We thank everybody and both get off stage as that was the final song for tonight. It was amazing doing this again, but I also feel I'm pretty worn out now.

"Come on baby, I'm taking you home. You look tired." Daniel says when I reach the table.
"Yeah good idea." We say bye to our F1 family, because they definitely have become family for me as well.
"Lewis thanks for doing it. It was really amazing being up there with you." I say before we head out to go home.
Back in the apartment I hop under the shower.
I've had such a great time, that suddenly I feel guilty for enjoying myself. For a while I actually didn't think about what happened.

In my head I know I don't have to feel bad about it, but for some reason I feel like I've done wrong to our baby. I start to cry just when Daniel comes in to brush his teeth.
"Baby what's wrong?" He asks me worried when he sees me leaning against the wall sobbing.
Without taking his clothes off he comes into the shower and holds me against him.

"Let me guess, you had a great time tonight and you feel guilty now? Is that it?" He guesses and I nod.
"Oh love, I understand, I feel that as well, but we are allowed to enjoy our lives even though we are sad as well."

"I know that, in my head I do, but still I just felt guilty all of a sudden." In his arms I calm down a bit and then I realize he's fully dressed.
"Daniel! You've got your clothes on. You're soaking wet now."

He looks down, "yeah doesn't matter, they will dry up. Besides the water is warm so I'm good. You ready to go to bed?" He asks and I turn off the water.
He gets out of his wet clothes and we both dry ourselves.
When we get to bed I lay with my head on his chest and I hear his calm and steady heartbeat.
"You know how awesome you looked when you were on that stage. Everybody in the room was in awe. Every time I see you perform I just want to shout at everybody, look that's my girl up there!" I hear Daniel say all of a sudden.
